looking for a non-customer service job

Any ideas for jobs that preferably aren't customer service and have little interaction with others? All I can find are warehouses so far.

Irrespective of the job, you will need to interact with people on some level. This could be with colleagues and bosses instead of clients or customers.
The list can get a bit longer. If you want recommendations that are more specific, you will need to be a bit more specific about what you are looking for.

Thank you for the list, i’ll be sure to look into them further. I honestly don’t mind the type of job, but since I’m starting uni in september it would have to be temporary with little training needed. And of course some interaction with people is fine as long its not completely based on it like a customer service rep. Thanks for the reply :smile:

If it's temporary with minimal experience, then kitchen porter is probably your best bet (the vacancies are commonplace and you can usually get the job relatively quick; the background knowledge needed is next to nothing; and people aren't usually fussy with the checks and qualifications, because you need next to nothing for them).

However, I would still look into something that would align more with what you want to do after you graduate. If it's possible, do an internship in it, since any relevant work experience in the field that you want to go into will set you apart from all the graduates applying for the same role (ideally cumulative experience of 6 months or 1 year).
